Winter to Fall and back again

The first lap was over all too soon. Fortunately it was still early and there was still a lot of untracked snow to be skied! We tossed our skins back at the edge of fall and skinned back up toward winter.

The crew skinning back up. It feels GOOD to get the skinning muscles working again!

Even a moose wanted to make schuss!

The second lap brought more of the same. Fortunately, the same was pretty awesome! Everyone started to get their legs back under them and figured out how to handle the deep, wet snow. On the way down we ran into some other friends who had driven up a little later. Everyone wanted to get some of the early season action!

Noah styles it (and looks remarkably like Allen!) while a snowboarder we didn’t know tumbled in the background

Great stuff. Reminds me of flick I saw once (Warren Miller?) where these guys were kayaking on a ski hill … using paddles to rudder themselves all around … and at the end the go flying of a huge cliff, into a raging stream and just continue to paddle in their merry way. This report is a classic.

Freaking outstandingly grand. Got to stare at this goodness while I sat in traffic on my 2 hour commute this morning and it made everything so much better. Got me thinking that its time to visit my couches connections in Vermont.
